Realistic Flower Animation

Job ID: 39544940

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

Hey there,

This is a real photo. I do not want a 3D model or a recreated version. I need photo animation using the actual image — subtle petal movement and a shifting orb reflection. Cinemagraph or parallax-style animation only.

can you show me one example that’s close to what I’m asking: subtle, realistic motion added to a real photo? I’m looking for an animator who can bring this image to life in a really natural, organic way -nothing cartoonish or overly digital.

The petals around the center should gently sway, like they’re breathing or floating underwater. The movement needs to feel real, not like a preset loop or stiff animation.

In the center, there’s a reflective orb with a faint figure inside it-we want that figure to slowly change into something else. Think shifting reflections or ink in water… subtle, eerie, poetic. It shouldn’t be flashy-just slow, mesmerizing, and seamless.

This will be used both as a Spotify Canvas (8-second seamless loop, vertical format) and for live projection mapping (so high-res, clean background, longer loop).

Just a heads-up: we work in this field as designers and creatives ourselves, so we might be a bit more particular than your average client. We’re only saying this to be upfront - because we know how frustrating it can be when expectations don’t match, or when rounds of feedback start piling up.

We’re looking for someone who’s confident they can meet that level of detail and work closely with us to bring the vision to life as intended. If that’s your thing, great. If not, no worries at all - better to be clear from the start.

If interested please provide examples of relevant portfolio examples. Thank you.
